Sorry, I made mistake, DDG 101 is type 055, 101 and 156 (052DL) both are already serviced in PLAN, there will be 4more 052D and DL serviced in PLAN this year, they will be DDG 121, 122, 132, 162. And type 055 DDG 102 should be in serviced this year.

Sorry, but we all know 101 is the first type 055.........but then you say 101 is a 052DL in service.........i think you got the number for the 052DL in service wrong

No, I said 101 is type 055, 101(055) and 156( 052DL) already serviced in PLAN .

LOL dude, please stop with the nonsense, if the Chinese navy were to receive at 10 type 052s, they will need at least 3 shipyards to simutaniously construct, install components, and sea trial these ships. Plus they need to have at least the adquate amount or maybe even double of officers to graduate each year from the naval academy.
@Austin Powers are you the same person as @Peter2018 lol
ideally you wouldn't post stuff like this but w/e

Trying to make count. I don't think 2nd DD and 6th DD will get new ships.
9th Destroyer Division SSF -- 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175
No new ships coming? Along with the 6th, this is the most experienced destroyer division in the PLAN.
6th Division ESF --- 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156 Zibo (latest)
Awaiting
157 Nanning --- 052DL currently in Jiangnan.
Getting new ships
10th Destroyer Division NSF. Formerly all Ludas, making it a butt joke within the Chinese Navy. Now its all getting a bunch of new ships. Transition from 051 to 052D, which is a huge gap in technology, is taking a while. With the exception of 122 Tangshan, every 052D of this division comes from Dalian. Not sure why.
New ships
119 Guiyang (not sure if this ship is 1st or 10th)
120 Chengdu -- This ship, and with 119, is being used to train and transition Luda division to 052D
121 Qiqihar -- Sitting on Dalian waiting for the 10th to get it.
122 Tangshan -- Finished trials, and waiting for the 10th to get it. Sitting in Jiangnan
123 --- 052DL in Dalian
124 --- 052DL in Dalian
3rd Destroyer Division ESF. Previous ships
131 --- 052D
136 --- Sov, now refit
137 --- Sov, now refit
138 --- Sov
139 --- Sov
This destroyer division is being overhauled to 052D standard. Next ships
132 --- 052DL Suzhou on trials
133 --- 052DL in Jiangnan
134 --- 052DL in Jiangnan
2nd Destroyer Division SSF. Current ships
161 Hohhot --- 052D
167 Shenzhen --- 051B refit
168 Guangzhou --- 052B currently in active for refit
169 Wuhan --- 052B, still active
Recently retired
165 --- This is a Luda
166 Zhuhai --- Also a Luda.
Now it has free numbers from 162 to 166. Three will be filled.
162 --- 052DL in Jiangnan
163 --- 052DL in Dalian
164 --- 052DL in Jiangnan
1st Destroyer Division NSF. Current ships
101 055 Nanchang
112 052 Harbin
113 052 Qingdao

116 051C Shijiazhuang
117 052D Xining
118 052D Urumqi
119 052D Guiyang (not sure if this is 1st or 10th).
I have seen this list given for 055 but they seem speculative.
Jiangnan Shipyard
Ship #1 101 Nanchang, in active service
Ship #2 102 Lhasa, to be commissioned
Ship #5 103 Anshan, being outfitted
Ship #7 104 X X, being outfitted
Dalian Shipyard
Ship #3 105 Dalian, under sea trial
Ship #4 106 Yanʼan, being outfitted
Ship #6 107 Zunyi, being outfitted
Ship #8 108 X X, under section assembly at dry dock
These numbers would suggest all 8 ships are going into the NSF with the 1st Destroyer Division. I kind of having doubts that all these ships are going to the 1st, unless you are anticipating a mass exit of four ships, namely the veterans 112, 113, 115 and 116. This will free manpower and port facilities.
This large concentration of 055 to me in the north points to carrier CV17 and possibly even CV18, will be permanently stationed in Qingdao.
It won't make sense to have CV17 Shandong stationed in Hainan, which is the home of the 9th Destroyer Division, when the 9th, although an experienced group, isn't getting any new ship, 052DL or 055.
Unless of course, some of the pennants are wrong.
If any new 052DL or 055 goes to the 9th and stationed in Hainan, the pennant will fill 176, 177, 178 and 179. The lack of any planned 052DL going to the 9th, suggests to me 176 to 179 might be all 055 in the future if a carrier will be stationed there, and this is the only other port in China that can host one other than Qingdao. Already one of the Type 901 is stationed in that base.
So you have alternative paths with carrier and 055 deployment. Where the 055 will go, that's where the carrier will follow. Where the carrier goes, that's where the 055 will follow.
I am also inclined that there might be a ratio of 4 055 to 1 carrier, the current 8 will satisfy the two existing carriers. For 003, its going to call for another batch of four 055.

Please do us a favour! STOP with this BS and RE-READ the rules - aka stupid one-liner replies with fan-boyish chest bumping content like "we need more" - are not allowed!
We are not a fan-boy forum.
Otherwise I have that strange feeling that you are the same one from PDF and if YES, please beware ... a similar stupid behaviour will NOT BE tolerated here.
"Anshan" was the name of the very first destroyer served in PLAN in 1954 with original pennant number 201, which later changed to 101 in 1974, and retired in 1992. It is the first of the four used destroyers China purchased from Soviet Union in 1950s.
The four destroyers are Anshan, Fushun, Changchun and Taiyuan. All four are now museum ships. If these sound familiar, they are also game ships in a famous mobile game.
Taiyuan has been taken up by 052D destroyer and Changchun by 052C. Fushun has not been taken up ever since, and I am hoping, the last of the eight Type 055 destroyers will take up this name.
